The nurse is explaining to the client that there are many causes for sleep apnea, and that testing is designed to identify the cause of the apnea so that appropriate treatment can be started
The client asks the nurse to describe the types of equipment used for the sleep apnea study. The nurse tells the client that which of the following might be used during the sleep apnea study? 1. An iPod to help the client to fall asleep to music
2. A videorecorder to pick up unusual respirations and movement
3. An intravenous pump to administer the dyes used
4. A rectal probe for recording temperature during sleep
2
Rationale: The client likely will be observed by videocamera to note movement and to pick up unusual breathing noises. Clients are not given IV dyes for a sleep study, and their temperatures are not monitored during sleep. If the iPod is allowed, it would be brought to the study by the client to help fall asleep.
